“Character is higher than intellect.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson

      This quote means that the most important thing is character. That is the one that is going to shine brighter because character is higher. It is important to have have a high character because that is what makes you who you are as a person. Character will shape you into who you are going to be. This is why character is higher than intellect as Ralph Waldo Emerson once said himself. This is important because it's so true and I believe everyone should hear about this. It is such an inspirational quote that everyone show remember and always reflect on it when situations occur. I agree with this because because if you always choose the right you will have high character and that is what matters most. You have to always remember to CTR because that's aso a huge part of having a good character. For example, you are walking down the street and a lady drops her purse and no one helps her. You go and help her and you thanks you. That is having good character and that will shine through brighter than having intellect.
